     This is a pictograph: a map that conveys its meaning through its pictorial resemblance to a physical object. This example combines some of the features of a planimetric map in the way that it can show boundaries yet it also depicts what is in those bounded areas with more images. These images usually convey certain characteristics that are well known for an area. This pictograph of example of New York uses images of well known buildings.
